I also find it really frustrating:
> I'm actually mad that the word fascist is losing its meaning.
When someone espouses ethno-nationalist viewpoints (a core part of fascism), and praises a fascist, I don't think it's unreasonable to say "hey that guy sounds a bit fascist", and I think pushing back against that is what is making fascism lose its meaning.
Now, saying "I don't think it's fascist because X" is perfectly valid, but that's not what I'm seeing here. It feels like a knee-jerk reaction, which I don't think is fair in this case.
He argues that non-White people aren't British[0], that's the bit where it gets a bit fascist for me.
There's a debate to be had about immigration, that I think is valid. I think there's nothing wrong with advocating to reduce immigration. I think saying non-White people (who were born here, just so we can get away from the immigration side of things) aren't British is a dick move and kinda fascist.
